“…” Julien was silent.He rubbed his temples. “It’s fine, then. Never mind if you can’t find it.”Since Lyra said that she did not know who snatched the bag, he could not force her either.“I’m sorry, Julien. I got into trouble again.” Lyra bit her lip in remorse, and her eyes were red.When Julien saw her guilty look, he tried his best to soften his voice. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself.”“Lyra, you should listen to Julien,” Brandon advised.Mrs. Madden nodded as well.When Lyra saw that everyone was comforting her, her tears turned into a smile. “I know.”“Julien, how do you plan to resolve Lyra’s case?” Brandon looked at Julien as he asked.Julien lowered his eyes. “You’ll find out tomorrow.”When they saw that Julien did not wish to elaborate more, although Brandon was unhappy, he stopped asking.The entire journey was filled with silence. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Madden Residence and the three of them got out of the car.Julien ro
Julien blinked and nodded.When he stepped out of the elevator just now, he felt a little dizzy and knew that he might be running a fever.However, he still wanted to see Sydney, so he did not bother.Sydney put down her hand and stretched her palm toward Julien.Julien looked at her in confusion. “What?”“Phone,” Sydney frowned and said impatiently, “Give me your phone. I’ll call someone from the Flint Mansion to pick you up.”“No need for that.” Julien rejected her offer.Sydney smiled. “Are you planning to drive back when you’re like this?”Julien pursed his lips and said nothing.Sydney was getting a headache from this man. “You don’t want someone to pick you up, and you can’t drive either. What do you want…? Hey… Hey!”Before she could finish her sentence, the man before her suddenly let go of the door handle and his large figure fell toward her.Julien’s entire body fell toward Sydney, and it almost broke her back.“Hey, can you be more shameless? Why did you fall tow
After half an hour, Zach arrived.Julien opened the door for him and said, “Come in.”After that, he turned around and walked toward the living room.Zach looked at Julien’s back and his mouth twitched.If he remembered it correctly, this was Ms. Raines’ house.Why was President Flint the one who opened the door for him, and was now acting as though this place belonged to him?Although Zach had thoughts like this, he did not dare to ask. He stepped into the house.“Clothes?” Julien asked him.Zach handed one of the bags in his hand over. “Here.”Julien took it and changed in the living room itself.Zach had another bag in his hands. “President Flint, this breakfast…”“Put it on the table,” Julien said as he buttoned up.Zach obediently placed the bag on the table.Julien then pointed at the coffee table. “Take those medications with us.”“Yes.” Zach nodded.The both of them left together.Before Julien left, he looked toward Sydney’s room. His eyes were darkened, but no
Partnership was one thing, and revenge was another.The two matters would not interfere with one another.Luke understood what Sydney meant and gave her a thumbs up. “Darling, you’re this.”Sydney smiled back. “Let’s go meet those representatives.”“Sure.” Luke nodded and stood up.After two hours, Sydney and Luke sent off the representatives.Since Julien sent them over to compensate Sydney, the cooperation terms were all in favor of Sydney’s side.Naturally, Sydney quickly signed the cooperation contracts with them.When Zach received the news, he informed Julien right away.Julien’s knitted brows finally relaxed a little. “I got it.”Sydney accepted the cooperation.Perhaps, she had let go of the fact that Lyra pushed her down the stairs.As he thought about it, the heaviness in his heart gradually subsided.“Oh, right.” He raised his head to look at Zach. “Any news about who’s the father of Sydney’s baby?”Zach shook his head. “No. Ms. Raines acted as though she didn'
The weekend.Under Mrs. Chase's persistent urging, Sydney and Luke came to Mr. Clarke’s equestrian park.The equestrian park was huge, and it was equivalent to at least eight to nine football fields combined. On the other side, there was also a huge golf course. Behind the gold course were villas for accommodation.A mountain with an altitude of seven to eight hundred meters above sea level could be seen behind the villas, and an observation deck was specially built at the mountain top. The observation deck was said to be an excellent spot for stargazing and sunrise.On the way there, Luke chatted endlessly about what to do for the next two days. He was extremely excited. On the contrary, Sydney appeared listless as she leaned against her seat, her face looking paler than usual.Luke noticed it and put away his excitement. “Darling, you look unwell. Are you feeling okay?”“Just feeling a little tight in my chest. It must be my motion sickness,” Sydney leaned her head against the
Sharon sneered at Hunter. “You lied to me first. You’re the young master of the Cohen family, yet you lied to me saying that you’re homeless.”Hunter cleared his throat awkwardly. “I didn’t do it on purpose. You didn’t ask me clearly when we first met.”“Is it my fault, then?” Sharon glared at him with her large eyes.Hunter quickly surrendered. “No! How dare I blame you? It’s my fault, okay?”“Sounds about right. Go get the luggage.” Sharon kicked him.Hunter pouted and obediently went to get their luggage.Jayden also followed suit.The three of them quickly went into the villa with each of their luggage.Lyra was visibly upset and lowered her head. Julien squeezed her hand and said gently, “Lyra, let’s go in.”“Yeah.” Lyra forced a smile and nodded.The five of them entered the villa.Just as they entered the living room, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the stairs.All five of them raised their heads to look.Luke was wearing casual clothes, and he was draggi
“Oh?” Sydney raised her eyebrow. “Hunter wants to ruin Julien and Lyra’s weekend?”“Yup.” Sharon nodded.Sydney exchanged a glance with Luke. “Luke, you were right. Remember you told me that since the Maddens offended the Cohen family, Hunter would make Lyra’s life miserable. Look at it unfolding now.”Luke laughed as he clapped his hands. “This is a good thing. Let Hunter help us out with Lyra for now.”Sydney agreed. “You’re right.”Luke decided to change the topic. “Darling, let's go to the equestrian park.”“Sure.” Sydney quickly nodded and agreed.The trio headed toward the equestrian park.When they reached outside of the park, Sydney saw that three horses were already racing.Although the people at the back of the horses were all wearing protective gear and had their faces covered, Sydney could still recognize them with a single glance.It was Julien, Jayden, and Hunter.Lyra did not join them and was sitting in the rest area watching them instead.When Sydney, Sharo
Faced with Sydney’s steady, unwavering gaze, Julien suddenly found it difficult to look into her eyes.He was afraid that she might see through him, so he looked away. “You look pale. It’s not suitable for you to ride a horse.”When everyone heard him, they looked at Sydney’s face in unison.Luke spoke first, “He’s right, Darling. Why are you still so pale? Are you still affected by motion sickness?”Sydney touched her own face. “Am I that pale?”“A little,” Sharon replied.Sydney smiled. “It’s fine, then. I can ride.”When Julien heard this, his eyebrows became tight-knit, and his expression was filled with disapproval.Sydney did not have the slightest awareness of her pregnancy.Could horse riding be more important than the child in her womb?Just as Julien wanted to forcibly stop Sydney, Luke said, “Darling, why don't you go back and take a rest? You can ride a horse next time. What if you get dizzy again?”Julien nodded in agreement. Finally, Luke did something useful t
Chapter 1200 A Great Pair of Teacher and StudentThat was for sure.But those students wouldn't be Sydney.Sydney would always be special to Julien.He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.She knew Julien was never a patient man.So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be
Chapter 1199 Teacher and StudentSydney's face and tone were both serious.Julien knew that if he was still unwilling to do as he was told, she would definitely do what she had said.Sydney was such a person.Even though their current relationship was close, she was not willing to take much advantage of him."Alas." Julien shook his head resignedly, pulling over her office chair and sitting down. "Is it okay now?"Sydney nodded in satisfaction. "Yes."With that, she also sat down on another chair that was slightly worse and then added, "Julien, don't think that I'm stubborn and unwilling to accept your goodness to me. I know that you want to do more for me, and you also want to let me sit more comfortably. I'm touched, and I accept it too, but if I really accept all of your kindness, especially when you're already helping me, it will only make me more and more greedy. "In the end, I will take all of your goodness to me as a matter of course, and over time, I will even forget t
Chapter 1198 Julien Was Going to Teach SydneySydney's eyes reveal a look of surprise.Julien noticed it, but deliberately teased her, "Why? Can't I come up?""Why not?" Sydney walked up to him and took his hand, smiling. "You're more popular at Skylight than I am. Even if I forbid letting you in, the staff will let you in. What can I do about that?""Nothing." Julien shook his head honestly."That's it!" Sydney pulled him inside. "I didn't think you'd be here this early, though. You usually get here around almost six. It's only a little after five now."So when Sydney saw him, she was surprised."I finished things, so I came over early. Are you done with your work?" Julien followed Sydney. He asked as he glanced at her desk.Sydney's desk was piled high with papers. Julien frowned at the sight. He liked to keep things neat and organized. "You've had a busy day, haven't you?"Otherwise, Sydney's desk wouldn't be this cluttered.Sydney didn't release Julien's hand until she le
Chapter 1197 It Was Good to LeaveYuri was one of Luke's best friends, so he knew very well what kind of person Yuri was.Such a slowcoach did something so quickly. It was conceivable that Luke was very important in Yuri's heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Luke's request so seriously.So how could Luke not be surprised and happy?As for Sydney, she didn't know Yuri. Nor did she know what kind of person he was.Now, after hearing Luke's words, she realized that Yuri was a person who worked very slowly.However, it was such an inefficient person who did her a favor so quickly. Sydney felt very touched."Maybe it was because you approached him that he did it so quickly, and of course, it was also possible that after being the boss all these years, he became much more efficient." Sydney guessed with a smile.Luke rubbed his chin and nodded. "It makes sense, but whatever the reason, it's good that Yuri got things done quickly.""Yeah, I called you mainly because I wanted yo
Chapter 1196 Strange LukeYet Sean was panicking at the moment.Why?Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there. Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."That was true.Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work.""I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her
Chapter 1195 Reason for ResignationSydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me.""I see." Sean understood.'I can't believe Gianna said it. 'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. 'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.Sean nodded. "Yes."Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with
Chapter 1194 Sean Had Decided to Gave Birth to the BabyLuke wanted to ask, 'Can't you see I'm not happy?'The words were on his tongue, but he couldn't say them.Upset, Luke took a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled one out of it, and put it in his mouth. He then took out his lighter and was about to light the cigarette.However, just as the flame neared the cigarette, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the bed on which Sean was drinking the medicine, not paying attention to him. Then he put the lighter away and put the cigarette back in the packet.'I’m not going to smoke it. It's not a good cigarette. I'm going to change cigarettes next time. I didn't quit smoking for that woman.' Luke compressed his lips and thought to himself.Just then, Sean's cell phone rang, which broke the silence of the room.Sean finished her medicine. Her mouth was full of bitterness. She put the bowl back on the bedside table and hurriedly picked up a glass of water and took a sip of wate
Chapter 1193Gianna trusted Luke, so she didn't tell Sydney that Luke also knew Sean had been pregnant.She didn't feel the need to tell Sydney. "Mr. Chase will keep Sean's secret anyway."Convinced of this idea, Gianna had no worries at all. She looked at Sydney and asked, "Ms. Raines, do you think Sean quit the job because the miscarriage hurt her health?""I don't know, but it's possible." Sydney responded, giving a worried look.Sydney didn't have many female friends. Sean and Sharon were her only friends.Sharon followed Cayden to Jackal City. They had very little contact after that.Sydney called Sharon a couple of times, but the phone was never answered. Sydney guessed that Sharon must be busy or Cayden had assigned Sharon some tasks, so Sharon could not answer her calls.Last time when Sydney contacted Sharon, Sharon told her that Cayden didn't trust her and that he wouldn't allow her to follow him around as his bodyguard.Syndey hadn't talked to Sharon in a long time,
Chapter 1192 Sean Wants to Resign"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary nodded in response and picked up the file. "Then Ms. Raines, I'll take my leave."Sydney waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you.""You're welcome," Gianna smiled faintly and turned to head for the door.But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned around. "By the way, Ms. Raines, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.""Just say it." Sydney lifted her chin slightly, signaling Gianna to continue.Seeing this, Gianna no longer hesitated. Standing upright, she said, "Here is the thing. This morning I went to HR Department. Secretarial Department recently needs to recruit a new assistant, so I went over there to ask if there were any suitable candidates.""Well, I know about this." Sydney nodded. "Go on."She knew that what her secretary wanted to say couldn't be this matter.Sure enough, Gianna took a breath and continued, "Then I heard them talking
